Missed this one.
Flex. It seems the fix was to tighten the little screws under the focuser to tighten it up. They used a Teflon pad on the drawtube and the latest model switched to a metal pad. I guess the Teflon could compress.
I didn't have a problem with my one but there were quite a few complaints on the Tak uncensored Yahoo Group.
The focuser lock also was a step backwards compared to the FSQ06N. The 106N was a simple screw that you tightened. The 106ED has a lever. If you manually focus that lever is a liability as when you engage it the focus shifts wrecking your focus that you just did. If you partially engage it then focus then fully engage it there was no problem. So poorly implemented.
Not an issue if you are using a Robofocus or some other focus unit.
